Worth Defending

With the morning sun

And the danger done

I'm a wasted life

All I own I owe to you

When my mourning takes

All those boughs we break

I can make it right

All the while, all the while



Because I'm worth defending

I'm workin' on another try

Oh, I'm worth defending

Mama, won't you show me why

Ooh, why



All these darkened days

Disheartening games we play

Please no more hating lies

I'm just a child

I'm your child



Oh, I'm worth defending

I'm workin' on another try

Oh, I'm worth defending

Daddy, don't you make me cry



All those times you told me

I'm the one to throw away

You were wrong

I had to take the time to let you make your own

Mistakes

You know I still belong

Oh, I still belong

All I know, I feel it deep in my heart

I don't wanna fight

I need you here to lift me though my sorrows

And I will rise, oh rise



Because I'm worth defending

I'm workin' on another try

Oh, I'm worth defending

Mama, won't you show me why



Oh, I'm worth defending

I'm workin' on another try

Oh, I'm worth defending

Daddy, don't you make me cry
